I'm looking to start a small Nem only tank. I was thinking ten gallon AIO system.
has anyone does one of these before?
i was thinking it would be bare bottom. What would be a good light recommendation? i assume it does need to be anything crazy because there will on be clowns and Nems.
if you have any photos, feel free to post them up!!

Thank you

You do know anemones can get huge, and will eventually outgrow that 10 gallon correct?

Here's a picture of my LTA in my IM 20 peninsula. I've had it for 8 months now and it takes up a third of my tank. My Clowns are always in it(never mind the female in the Duncan--she thought I was going to feed them).

It can be done in a 10 gallon. Keep in mind though that you shouldn't even get an anemone until 9 months to a year old. That's a long time to go without adding anything but a clownfish. Clowns should be in a larger tank also.

Because breeders of clowns use tanks(space) smaller than ten gallon tanks.
You also can't have a thriving mixed reef(including Acropora) with a pair of yellowtail damsels in a 8 gallon tank with no protein skimmer.
